I recently downloaded a zip file that took about two hours, but when I tried to open it, I encountered an error saying the archive is invalid, along with the code 0x80004005. I've looked up solutions online and tried a bunch of things, including running DISM scans and clearing temporary files. My internet isn't the problem, and I'm the only one using my personal computer, plus Windows is fully updated. The only thing that changed before this error happened was that I started using an old 2TB hard drive with some files on it. I had no issues downloading a game onto this drive yesterday, but today, it's the zip file that won't open. I'm wondering if the hard drive could be causing the issue, or do you think it's a problem with the file itself?

Another option is to try extracting the file using 7zip; sometimes it can give you a more specific error if there's a problem. Just to confirm, did the download complete fully? Also, is the file size consistent with what you expected? If it's too small, that might indicate a failed download. And what’s the filesystem on the drive you're using to extract it?
First off, try downloading the zip file again. It might have gotten corrupted during the download process. If you still can’t open it, the original file at the source could also be the problem. Those error codes can be pretty generic, so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong without more detail.
I think downloading the file again is your best bet, too! If that doesn't work, check if you can open other zip files without any issues.
